Calamata Olive Pits hard on the teeth!

In Coffee and Convo
Shiny, dark globes beckon me like a sea siren calls out to lost sailors. Supposedly pitted, I munch down on my first olive and crack! Not the pit, my tooth.
A few days later I'm sitting in the dentist chair, head cocked back at an awkward angle, mouth open wider than it should be and "Mr. Thirsty" is hooked in the corner of my lip. Miserable barely begins to describe it. But then I close my eyes, rememeber the suculent and briney flavor and decide it was all worth it. But dang, that's one expensive olive!
Please tell me you've done something similar! Was it worth it?

What you're saying..
Just wanted to say thanks for the great recipe for the leek and potato soup that was published in the San Diego Tribune.
I just made it, tastes great, REAL easy. My wife tried it (she hates cold soup), she likes it, win-win all around!
Keep those great recipes coming!!
Thanks again,

Yes, I have done something very similar. In July 2007 shortly after having some new veneers on my two upper front teeth, I was eating a frozen Milky Way, and one of them broke about half of it off. So back to Costa Rica I went. I was told very emphatically not even to bite an apple...
